Hyro raises $45M to expand AI agents across healthcare systems

Hyro, an AI company focused on healthcare applications, has raised $45 million in a strategic growth round led by Healthier Capital, nearly doubling its total funding to date. The investment will accelerate development of additional AI agents for administrative, clinical, and operational functions as the company positions itself as the “Responsible AI Agent Platform” for healthcare.

What you should know: Hyro’s platform is already deployed across 45 hospital systems, serving over 30 million patients through voice and chat interfaces.

• The company’s AI agents resolve up to 85% of routine patient needs, including registration, routing, scheduling, and prescription management.
• Hyro differentiates itself through healthcare-specific knowledge, multi-modal data ingestion, understanding of healthcare workflows, and integration with electronic medical record companies like Epic.

Who else is involved: The funding round brought together strategic healthcare investors and existing clients as stakeholders.

• Healthier Capital, led by One Medical’s Amir Dan Rubin, spearheaded the investment alongside Norwest and Define Ventures.
• Notably, five-year client Bon Secours Mercy Health participated in the round, along with ServiceNow Ventures, the investment arm of ServiceNow.

The big picture: Healthcare organizations are increasingly adopting AI agents to handle patient communications and operational tasks, with multiple companies competing in the voice AI and call center automation space.

• Hyro has expanded beyond hospital systems to include health plans and mid-sized clinics, achieving a goal from its December 2024 series B extension.
• The funding round doubles the company’s valuation, reflecting growing industry confidence in AI-powered healthcare solutions.

What they’re saying: Company leadership emphasizes the strategic timing and validation of their approach.

• “After another 10 months of strong execution, landing new enterprise customers and expanding relationships with existing ones, we decided to bring on additional capital to further our mission of improving patient access to care and driving operational excellence for health systems,” said Israel Krush, CEO and co-founder of Hyro.
• “Hyro is delivering better levels of access, experience, and operational performance to leading healthcare organizations, delivering significant returns-on-investment,” added Amir Dan Rubin, CEO and founding managing partner of Healthier Capital.
